Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

[Echo Mirage]

You guys are from TTLG, then? That used to be a cool place. I remember Terry Pratchett posting there a long, long, long, long time ago.

I think they're from the Eidos forums. You can tell by how traumatized they are. Only official forums do that to a person.

And earned my place in Valhalla for it as well.

I don't remember Rindill much. There were more people I liked than what I have on my friends list but they were the majors. pha, Pretentious Old Man, FrankCSIS, BigBoss, spyhopping, Irate Iguana, and Ashpolt. They need to be here.

pha, POM, BigBoss and IrateIguana are off my radar. They disappeared. *shrugs*

FrankCSIS is still around, posting almost every day. Spyhopping is dating Jerion and became a mod. Ashpolt, well, now that DX:HR released he's not that much of a regular. He was in E3 with the mods though during the DX: The Fall release. He even participated in a "I played Thief/DX The Fall - Ask me Anything" thread over there about the games. Eventhough i trust him and his sincere opinions, the whole thing felt like PR talk and he avoided talking about anything negative about the games.

Anyways, so huh? They removed jumping in Thiaf. B1skit's strawman of "You cant pop your trunk in Gran Turismo, so its okay not to jump in Thief" got me really pissed. Either they have no idea, or they are making this for more "streamlined gameplay" and using that strawman argument to distract us. (I believe the latter). Also, can i curse here? Where can i see the Terms of Use of this forum? I couldnt find it anywhere.

Yes, you can curse around here. No faggy emoticon to replace swear words either.

Shit fuck cock ass dick crap librul idiot

See we have no word filters!

 

[argan]

Viktoria is probably the mod that annoys me the most over there. b1skit is an idiot, sure, but Viktoria is just defending everything EM does, blindly and vapidly praising everything about nuThief.

Used to be our only rule was that there are no rules but things have changed a bit. Used to be there was no moderation at all.

There's some rules now; here: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/rules-of-the-codex-enhanced-edition-2012.70110

Basically: no open piracy, no child porn, no NSFW images in threads not marked as such, no shitposting, no spamming. Other than that anything goes; curse your heart out and feel free to defend or hate feminism.

If you're too stupid you might end up being redirected to our "friends"; RPG Watch. Go there if bad words make you sad.

Oh, and I suggest you always check where a link leads before clicking it.

That isn't true, we have a word filter for the worst offence ever: liberal

I remember him from the Thief: The Dark Project group on Usenet back in those crazy days when most people used their real names.

Wow, that last page was a little freaky, like gatecrashing a stranger's reunion being held in your own house.

Gave me a little HOTU vibe there.

Pretentious Old Man dropped off the radar about a year ago, while spyhopping seems to have become a Moderator and was one of the people along with Ashpolt to praise Thief after EM treated them nice at E3.

kind of surprised Pretentious Old Man isn't here. He was a great poster. @AlexOfSpades. Good that you are here. I remember your posts and can say you are a good guy.

Jerion is the new name for Mr. K isn't it? The guy that got to see DXHR when all that was public was the trailer? Sad that two great voices of reason over there pulled a Mr. K. I never thought Jerion was terribly sophisticated, but he always seemed honest (for a traitor).

We all did.

I just realized the new Garret could have been even worse:

 

[Oesophagus]

First the Bioware boards, now Eidos, looks like the Codex really is a haven for the oppressed

Well, their loss is the codex's gain, and by that I mean there's more misanthropic grumpiness to go around

It's nice to be in a place where there's no feminazi matriarchs like Princess Stomper to tell you what you are allowed to think and say and do.

You guys forgot the most important rule. Not so much a rule as a philosophy, but...

"Chances are something you like sucks. Why? This is the RPG Codex."

"It can not be contained" - reminds me of Deus Ex.

Too bad it also reminds me of Dishonored. But did anyone expect anything else? Not truly.

Thieaf 4 is actually a terrible influence over Dishonored as it has cinematic, emotional engaging for liberals, if this shit sells, goodbye the chance of Dishonored 2 being more like the original Thiefs as Bethesda is going to force the hell out of Arkane to add cinematic bullshit. There is the problem of the developers behaving like little bitches. Fucking everything, removing almost everything related to thief and adding inferior quality stuff then having the audacity of lying in every interview. I expected large doses of popamole like in Dishonored but Eidos Montreal got Thief under it's boots shot it on the head while claiming that like it very much.

Bethesda isn't the one sucking after the Japano-Frenchies. It's Bethesda that usually sets the standard. So no, I'm not worried about Dishonored 2 going all cinematic and retarded. They don't have to. Dishonored proved it can stand on it's own feet.

I came back from a long break away from the forums to find the moderators and Ashpolt having just returned from E3 and swearing that EM had nailed thief 100%. Only Ashpolt had a few issues with the jumping system. But despite claiming that they wouldn't hold back on their opinions of the game it was really damn hard to take what they had to say seriously when one guy works in PR and the others are EM mods who have not only been giving an twice the normal game play time but are also posting pictures of themselves having a drink and a great time with the developers on the forums.

And I saw you mention Viktoria as well. She is still the same person who twists words and see's no fault in anything EM does, much like when I was posting on TTLG . She has gone beyond the point of being an apologist. She is fanatical to the point that I expect the Jews to abandon Israel and gold before she will say even one negative thing about EM.

Sounds like the movie Almost Famous. Sad, though not entirely surprising. Thanks for the update, and welcome to the Codex. I hope you'll stick around!

Thanks and I will. Its good to be in a place where you can post what you want without the fear of having it twisted to suit someone's agenda.

Oh, that might happen, but it'll likely be your fellow posters rather than mods. The good news is you can bite back and bite back hard without fear of a banhammer. :D
